5-Piece Professional Appraisal Set
This easy-to-use testing kit is built with genuine JSP testing acids, trusted by jewelry and precious-metal professionals since 1980, and designed to accurately determine the karat and purity of gold and silver jewelry, scrap, bars, and coins.
Most entry-level kits rely on small, imported acids that sit too long and lose effectiveness. This kit does not.
• Never imported testing acids
• Manufactured in the USA by JSP, a trusted industry name since 1980
• Full 0.5 oz bottles, up to 3× larger than many competitors
• Always fresh for consistent, reliable results
• Each bottle performs hundreds of tests
Fresh acid matters. Old or diluted acid leads to inaccurate readings. This kit is built for real testing, not guesswork.
Scratch the item on the test stone, apply a drop of the appropriate testing solution, and observe the reaction. Results appear quickly and clearly using the included color chart and instructions.
